I am 22 currently and my mother is in her mid 40's I am the middle child and have been really close with her my entire life. I have a strong bond with her and have had the terrible urges to have sex with her for about the last 5 years or so. I don't know if this is the correct place but what should I do to either act upon them without freaking her out or make myself stop thinking these things? Any suggestions?

Hi, needhelpplz! There could be all kinds of reasons for this desire you have. It would be best to go to your regular doctor and ask where you can find a good psych doctor/therapist. You don't need to tell the first doctor everything if you're not comfortable with it, I supose, but if you find a psych who's willing and seems able to help, confide in them.Had you been feeling depressed or anything like that when the urges started? Has anything traumatic happened?

This could be more normal than you'd actually think. Do you have feelings of aggression towards your father or whoever is your mothers partner? You should search around the internet for the 'Oedipus complex'. Now, know this is a Freudean theory and some psychologists of today do not agree with this being an issue with most people. I just thought this might be helpful because Sigmund Freud, himself, had mommy issues involving sex.
